Contributing to open source is a privilege. It doesn't mean you have cheated to do it or that you don't deserve praise for doing it! It only means that not everyone can do it. You need the skills, time and will to do it in addition to doing whatever you need to have a good life. Not everyone has that time. Not everyone works in the field. We must acknowledge it to meaningfully convey the value of open source in society. #opensource #privilege

If we want to take this seriously we need to stop obsessing over the little problems and focus on some big problems. Show Notes

Fuck everyone who uses "unalive" with zero sense of irony. Fucking socmed algorithm brain poisoning. Say "kill". Say "murder". Say "suicide". Say "rape". Say "pedophile". Say what you mean. If people need to not see or hear those words they'll use a filter. (Or if you're on a platform where you feel like you're forced to elide a word, make it obvious you know you're being censored and don't use stupid euphemisms like it's a totally normal thing to do.)
